Evaluation and Selection of Fellows

Applications will be reviewed by a Selection Committee appointed by the President's designate and composed of nine members from the University of California faculty in the Humanities. The Selection Committee will make its recommendations to the President's designate, who will make the awards.

The Selection Committee will use the following criteria in evaluating each application:

1. The significance of the contribution that the proposed project will make to thought and knowledge in the applicant's field and to the Humanities generally;
   
2. The clarity and cogency of the conception, definition, organization, and description of the proposed project;
   
3. The appropriateness of the proposed project goals, strategies, and timetable; and
   
4. The likelihood that the applicant will complete the project within a reasonable period.  This criterion does not assume that the project should be completed within the Fellowship year.

APPLICATION DEADLINE

Applications must be submitted online by October 23, 2008.

Awards will be announced in March 2009.
